5500/6000€ is the NET income of a european based permanent skipper, taxes paid in ireland.
5500/6000€ is the net income of a skipper with the new BRK/macnamara contract.
In both cases there is no pension,LOL,medical included.
In the case of BRK guys there are not even tickets for family nor a basic salary in case their base is closed and they are forcefully relocated to another one and not flying for a few weeks.
If you consider the above is for the most productive pilots in the industry (900+hours a year, 25mins turnarounds, walk under the rain to/from the aircraft,pay for your ID,buy your uniform,pay for medical,pay for water and food,pay for sim,pay for type rating,pay for hotel) you can clearly see that the package is one of the poorest in the western world.
Even Skyeurope guys in the east were treated better.
